Our messed up world

Oregon health plan covers assisted suicide, not drugs, for cancer patient

Of course, one must remember that insurance companies are not in the business they're in to pay out to people who pay premiums, but to make as much money as they can. Obviously the only two options for a person paying the company to insure them are to never claim on the policy they pay for, or to die quickly and so cost the insurance company less (so said company can make more money). Isn't that screwed up?

God, bless the woman with cancer in whatever way she needs your blessing, and bless her family with peace, comfort and your consolation...
